Has anyone renamed a Master Server and Media Servers running Windows with NBU 6.0 & 6.5?  we are restructuring some of our AD domains and migrating servers to new domains.  The server short names will not change, but in many places we have used the fully-qualified names and these will change.

I’m aware that one can create aliases in EMM db, and create CNAMEs in DNS, entries in old & new names in bp.conf/registry etc, but we think that there are a lot more steps.  Has anyone done this and might be willing to share the ‘cookbook’?  We would I’m sure test this out in a lab before going to production but we need to know all the dark corners that we need to go.

I can think that the media ownership will need changing, and I don’t see it being too hard to fix storage units, even recreate them if required.  But will we need to manually go into EMM db with SQL and fix anything?  That sounds a bit scary.  So any experience that anyone can share would be useful.

Thanks.
